Tools for Programmer

The following programs are very useful especially for programmers (Free and open source), it is possible you are not a programmer also need:

Notepad + +, open source text editor is very good. Supports nearly 50 languages ​​with the programming interface is easy to use, and a variety of features including support with plugins.

  


WinMerge, Program to compare and merge two source code in a file or folder.

 UPX, one of the tools to compress the application (executable file), so the size of the exe or dll file can be half or much smaller

  NSIS, To make the installer of the application or program that we created. Scripting capabilities of his great and only adds a very small size of the file installe

 Inno Setup, such as NSIS, to create Windows installers with the ability to not like NSIS, just easier and plus pascal support scripting. The resulting size is generally larger than NSIS

Delphi 7 Personal Edition and VB 6.0 Portable Portable

Nowadays more and more portable applications we have encountered, most of the software is either free or open source applications provide a portable version. This is possible by the breadth of the use of media such as USB Flash Disk. But for your Delphi or VB programmer, may have difficulty finding Portable Applications her.

Some time ago I found the tools to create Delphi 7 Personal Edition Portable, as well as Visual Basic 6.0. Although it has some limitations, but pretty good if we want to learn programming anywhere and anytime ..
To make Delphi 7 PE Portable, Delphi programs should already be installed on the computer and with this tool it will produce Delphi 7 PE Portable version, we can take it on a flash disk with ease. So download this is not his own Delphi application, because its size is only about 418 KB.

Delphi 7 PE itself is a Delphi compiler is released as freeware by Borland at the time, and freely used for personal rather than commercial origin, because it limited the included components. But now download Delphi 7 PE was not provided by CodeGear (formerly Borland), however, there is still another download link in the address (please see below).

 

If VB 6.0 Portable itself is about 16 MB. VB version of this portable package complete with deployment wizard and VB6 runtime files, but no icons, help files or additional components. If you are familiar with VB programming, this version seems to suffice. Information: When installing the program, just click "ignore" when it appears an error message, because some programs written in VB 4, so it may display the message. According to its maker it does not matter, because the program runs fine on Windows XP. But unfortunately we can not produce the exe file with this portable version

DOWNLOAD Visual Basic 6.0 Portable (16 Kb) Delphi 7 Personal Edition Portable Maker (418 KB). If you need the source code can download Source Code

If you do not have Delphi 7 Personal Edition, it seems http://kobol.org/Delphi/Delphi7_Personal.zip still be downloaded here (53.7 MB).     

Bootable Linux on USB stick

Perhaps many of us are curious to try different distros of Linux that can be obtained free of charge. But sometimes the problem is the install process a bit difficult for most people. Therefore, we can try to make linux run directly from a USB stick.

In some distros, we've been able to run Linux from a CD, such as Ubuntu. But if linux is in flash, this would make it easier for us to bring the operating system is everywhere. Included also if it can not boooting from CD / DVD-ROM.

UNetbootin is an open source application that serves to make a bootable Live USB for various Linux distributions. So that we can run linux directly from the USB stick without the need for hard drives and does not interfere with existing systems or data on the hard drive. 

 

This application can be run on Windows 2000/XP/Vista or Linux. Linux distro we can make a bootable from flash are:

• Ubuntu
• Debian
• Linux Mint
• openSUSE
• Arch Linux
• Damn Small Linux
• SliTaz
• Puppy Linux
• FreeBSD
• NetBSD
• Fedora
• PCLinuxOS
• Sabayon Linux
• Gentoo
• Zenwalk
• Slax
• Dreamlinux
• Elive
• CentOS
• Mandriva
• FaunOS
• Frugalware Linux

In addition, UNetbootin can also be used to create a variety of other tools or system utilities, such as:
Parted Magic, Partition Manager software to alter, repair, backup or restore hard drive partitions.
     Super Grub Disk, a boot utility to repair and restore problems booting different operating systems.
     Backtrack utility for network analysis
     Ophcrack, the utility to recover passwords for Windows
     NTPasswd, utility to reset windows password and edit registry
     Gujin, Bootloader with graphical interface (GUI) to boot various operating systems
     FreeDOS, to run flahs BIOS and other DOS commands. 

How to Use

UNetbootin, provides features for direct download Linux from the Internet or using the ISO file (CD Image) which we have previously downloaded. Flash required size of 1 GB or larger and use the FAT32 file system format. This application does not need to install, but it starts only. Here's more: 

Run File UNetBotin.
If you want to download directly the desired distributions, choose from the available list. If the ISO file is already on the hard drive, select DiskImage, and look for an ISO Image file its
Select the USB drive is available.
Click OK to begin the process

Wait until the data copy process is complete

Once completed, it can immediately try to restart the computer and do not forget to set up a computer at BIOS Booting the first time via USB. I have tried with Ubuntu 8.10 and managed to (require a space of about 709 MB)

Linux in Windows with a Linux Live USB

With more and more and the development of the Linux Operating System, especially the many free Linux distributions that we can use such as Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Fedora, PCLinuxOS and others, may make some who have never tried curious. For Windows users, there is an alternative to try without having to install on a computer, using a USB stick only.

Previously I also had to review about the Make Bootable Linux USB stick with UNetbootin software. Now there are alternatives other software that is easier and also has some other kelabihan, namely Linux Live USB Creator

Linux Live USB Creator supports various Linux distros, more can be found at Supportes Linuxes. In addition to create a bootable Linux USB, with Lili, we also can make a direct run on Linux without having to boot windows. Compared UNetbootin, its use is also easier.

 

5 Easy Steps

1. Select the USB stick that will be filled with Linux, the USB must be FAT or FAT32 format. If USB is FAT or FAT32, we do not need to format it.

 

2. This step is to choose the source of Linux distributions, can be from a CD-ROM, an existing ISO file on the hard drive or if we have a fast internet connection, select Download (direct download from the internet)

 

3. Persistence, a space the size of the USB settings will be used to store the data, we change the configuration or if you later want to install additional software on linux USB. If this is not the contents (0 MB), then Linux on USB can still run, but change the data in linux will not be saved. And we can not store data on linux, and install additional software.

 

4. Step 4 there are three options: first, whether the files will be hidden diuat (hidden), the second whether the USB will be in the format (all data will be lost) and the third to make a portable version on windows (need Internet connection)

 

5. The final step is to CREATE, click the yellow lightning icon to begin the process of manufacture. Previously we could set additional options with the click OPTIONS

 

Explanation of Persistence    

 

With the Persistence feature, after we boot and run linux, then all the changes (setting) or the addition of file can be stored on the USB. We can also install software on linux and this software will be saved even if we restart the computer or reboot.

If Persistence is the content of 0 MB, then change the settings or data on linux (for example, change the theme / appearance, wallpaper, etc.) will be lost when we run Linux on a USB reset. And until this article was written, if we run this USB Linux directly from Windows (with VirtualBox), then the Persistence feature has not worked.
